FOOTBALL: Florida changes up staff by hiring OL coach Tim Davis in place of Frank Verducci

Frank Verducci is out. Tim Davis is the new offensive line coach at Florida.
Gators coach Will Muschamp made an unexpected move Monday by hiring Davis from Utah and announcing that Verducci left “to pursue other interests.” Verducci was hired in January 2011, shortly after Charlie Weis came on staff as offensive coordinator.

“Tim is a perfect fit for our program — he has a history of coaching in a pro-style offense and shares the same program philosophies,” Muschamp said in a statement. “It will be a seamless transition for our players and staff.”

Davis, 53, has never worked with current offensive coordinator Brent Pease, but has connections to several UF coaches. He was an assistant offensive line coach with the Miami Dolphins in 2005, when Muschamp and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn were there. He also worked with running backs coach Brian White at Wisconsin and tight ends coach Derek Lewis at Minnesota.

Davis played on the offensive line at Utah, then briefly in the CFL and USFL. He has been coaching since 1981.
